The opening panel session in our upcoming news:rewired conference on 19 April will cover the growing role of journalists in curating content from social media and the wider web.

With two weeks to go today (tickets still available here!) we decided to highlight some useful tools for differing sectors of content curation. This is by no means an exhaustive or definitive list so feel free to recommend any further tools or platforms in the comments section.

Ahead of the integrated storytelling session at newsrewired – connected journalism we’ve pulled together just five examples of the tools and platforms available to journalists to help them pull in content from across the web.

On the day of the event (6 October) Xavier Damman, the co-founder of Storify, perhaps one of the most popular curation tools, will be appearing to speak about the possibilities the platform offers.
